You can read more about this process +<a href="https://www.mysociety.org/2017/11/24/peak-performance/">on the +mySociety blog</a>. + +We now support <strong>Open311 category groups</strong>, and if we fetch +updates via Open311, we can use auto-response templates to fill in updates +without their own description. + +Lastly, the <strong>dashboard and statistics</strong> have been streamlined and +improved, and are all now available under <code>/dashboard</code>. This now +includes lookup by date range, ward, category or state, and the CSV export uses +machine-readable dates and is accessible via token-based authentication. + +### Bugfixes + +The number of updates on <a +href="https://www.fixmystreet.com/">fixmystreet.com</a> hit a million! So we +made sure large numbers don't overflow on the homepage. Also, multiple 'Expand +map' links should no longer trouble your maps on mobile; with JavaScript off, +the pins should no longer be double the size they're meant to be; and also some +bad interaction between the list filters and the back button has been fixed. + +Staff users got a number of bugfixes to their interfaces, including making sure +reports could always be removed from your shortlist (even if they've switched +body), only creating one update when changing category, and making sure the +text-only contacts output was indeed text, not HTML. + +[Full changelog](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/releases/tag/v2.3) + |
